Fugg You Tweety - not one part of Obamacare is going to be offered

[malaise]

to ReTHUGs The Medical device tax remains.

[handmade34]

1. just yelling at him about that...

[malaise]

4. Always the first to sell out

Always has a new book to hawk Tweety can be such an opportunist and he so wants to sell this new book to both sides. Today he's pissing me off.

[dorkzilla]

2. I'm sick in bed and can't find the clicker...

...and can't muster the strength to turn of Tweety. I hate this jerk.

[malaise]

6. Get well soon

I switched to Wheel of Fortune

[dorkzilla]

10. Thanks, Malaise!

In the olden days, I would just throw something at the tv off switch. Now no switches and the buttons are on the side. Sometimes technological advances suuuuuuuck.

I'm missing the replay of last night's Colbert!

In honor of Tweety and your new viewing choice--I'd like to buy a fowl please!

[malaise]

12. Jon Stewart was great last night

[dorkzilla]

16. Well my boyfriend is here now...

So he can turn off the Tweety and turn on the real news...The Daily Show.

[malaise]

17. Ha

[PCIntern]

3. What a sack of shit Tweety is...

how about he just gets the fuck off the air, and we will get the government reopened? Howzzat for a deal?

[malaise]

15. Got to sell that new book

Nothing else matters. He'll soon tell us where he'll be signing and hop Tip and ROnnie worked together. Of course he ignores the little fact that all this anti-government shit is Ronnie's doing.

[PCIntern]

18. i am just so frigging mad at the whole bunch...

This is a seminal moment in American history.

[malaise]

20. But but but

his book is more important - and yes today is a very important day in American history for millions without insurance.

5. Obama cannot back down on negotiating ANYTHING with these terrorists at this point.

If he does, he would need to resign. I would be done with him.

Let it go, the longer it goes, the worse it will be for the Republicans.

Part of me thinks that the country needs to experience the GOP's handiwork so in order that they can now...finally


"WAKE THE HELL UP !!!!!"

7. If the medical device tax is eliminated it would add 30 Billion to the deficit. n/t

[Divine Discontent]

13. just had this discussion about the tax with a repub friend in CO, needed that figure, thanks

that is a huge number to be added to the deficit. typical tweety...

[Tx4obama]

19. Here's a link below

Second, the Republican proposal to repeal the tax – which was tabled by Senate Democrats Monday night – would have added almost $30 billion to the deficit, and Democrats won't support such a measure, Hoyer warned, without an offset for those costs.

21. thx

[malaise]

23. CLearly he didn't research the topic

Shakes head

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Wow. I wasn't the only one yelling at the TV

Wished for Sylvester the cat to appear to make a meal out of him.

I turned him off after the segment was done. I guarantee 100% that if the President HAD made such an offer, Tweety would have been ranting and raving about him caving and not being a "leader".

[malaise]

24. I switched

Not in the mood for crap today

[blm]

9. This is what Tweety ALWAYS does when he's selling a book - he'll say ANYTHING

he thinks will make the GOP voter base happy to have him on their Moonie News shows.

[malaise]

11. It's always about him and his books

[Divine Discontent]

14. rec 5, for my malaise!

[Cha]

22. A Rec for Tweety to fall flat on his metaphoical book pushin'

face.

[okwmember]

25. Just finished watching and WTF is wrong with Ed Rendell?

His suggestion was that the Repugs had picked the wrong fight. He thinks they should have held their fire until the debt ceiling showdown instead. Really?! Does the man know what happens if they don't increase the debt ceiling? What an ass!

Yeah Ed, keep encouraging these recalcitrant assholes.

[Dragonfli]

26. Ed Rendell is a fanatical supporter of "Entitlement" reform, on fiscal issues he is Republican. /nt

27. Is it that you wish to see

absolutely no changes ever to the ACA as written, no matter what, or is there something special about the medical device tax that you think is particularly just and fitting about having it?

Raising the costs of using or having these things doesn't seem productive to me.
